Hi, the last few days I've heard lots of repeated stories. Maybe it's because I listen a lot but it seems likes there are more repeat stories than normal, and some of the repeats are the same story 3 or 4 times. I used to never hear repeat stories. I feel I listen 1-2 hrs a day. It would be nice to have an "already heard/skip" button, or something, to ensure that story wouldn't repeat. Thanks. Keep up the great work! ﻿

Michael “Rugby” Seifollahi: Do you have a rough idea when this seemed to get worse? We've been investigating several potential causes for this issue, but don't have any smoking gun.

Joe G: I've been getting this for ages (and have complained about it - primarily about wanting a way to focus on news/current events/commentary rather than having the app rush to feed me long-form programming) Most infuriating is NPR One's insistence that I listen to Think! to the extent that it tried playing the same episode 3 times in a single hour! Clearly my skipping past it every single time doesn't teach the app anything. And, as I rarely have the phone in my hand while listening it's doubly annoying to have to drop what I'm doing, grab the phone etc.

Sorry, I know I've run tangentially off the original subject, but I certainly share the op's problem with repeats. These repeated shows/episode/diversions from my attempts to get informed & up-to-date have gradually discouraged me from using the app for anything more than a five-minute news hit.
